I stopped back at the McLaughlin Grows Urban Farm to catch up with Teri’s crew. I interrupted them replanting some tomato plants, and so as not to shut down the entire operation, I only interviewed half the crew at a time. And since it’s ladies first, here is my interview with Darcelle, Tiana, and Porche.

How do you like working out here?

Darcell: “It’s really fun.”

Tiyanna: “The neighbors come past and compliment it a lot.”

Darcell: “Something to do for the summer.”

Porche: “Something positive. Making a difference.”

Darcell: “Helping our neighborhood.”

How did you get this job?

Tiyanna: “My mom told me about Bethany Housing hiring and Mike Espinoza put us in the groups he thought would fit us.”

Darcell: “My coach helped me.”

Porche: “Well I go to Bethany church. Most of the people at Bethany are involved in Community EnCompass.”
